Page Eight THE COLBORNE EXPRESS,- THURSDAY, JUNE 15th, 1944 CLEAN FLUES AND TAKE DOWN PIPES Right now before they forget it in the rush of other things is the time for Canadian householders to put their heating plants in order for next winter, suggests a buUetin of the Canadian Institute of Plumbing and Heating. Furnaces should be cleaned out. It is important to clean the ashes off the grates and out of the ashpit and also to brush between the furnace sections. Ashes, soot and summer dampness, do harm to your furnace by corrosion so the better the job is done in early summer the longer will the furnace last to give better service. The soot and other solids that have settled at the bottom of the chimney should be removed through the door provided for that purpose. The grates of the furnace should be examined and, if necessary, orders should be placed for renewals. The furnace pipes should be taken down, cleaned and stood on end in a dry place. This latter will prevent corrosion which will otherwise eventually eat through the pipe and make renewal necessary. And coal! Now is the time to order it so that, regardless of the unavoidable delays in wartime, it will be ready and waiting when needed in the fall. For technical advice on any of these matters, points out the Institute, it is well to consult your plumbing and heating man. His advice will often make all the difference between satisfaction and discomfort. P.Q. JUNIOR CLASSES J. P. Fleury, the Dominion Department of Agriculture's Supervising Fieldman at Montreal, says that from 160 to 165 juior live-stock clubs will be operating in the Province of Quebec this year. In 1943, Quebec live-stock clubs totalled 157. Of these 132 were calf clubs, 15 were swine clubs and 10 sheep clubs. DISTRICT LEADERS TO BE AVAILABLE DURING THE SUMMER The value of the expert care given by a registered nurse to a patient who is seriously ill cannot be over estimated. But the Bed Cross believes that there is a great need for women in their own homes to be equipped to provide simple and competent nursing care. It was with this thought in mind that, a little more than a year ago, the Emergency (Nursing) Reserve was formed by the Ontario Division of Red Cross. Training which the Reserve offers prepares women lo take care of their families in cases of illness, or to help a neighbour who needs assistance in case of sickness. There is a danger of epidemic after every war, when soldiers who have served in all parts of the globe, return to their home land. .Dire shortage of nurses and medical men, lack of hospital accommodation would, the event of an epidemic, be fearful lo contemplate, if Canadians were wholly unprepared. The Emergency (Nursing) Reserve continues to train women to be prepared for such an eventuality, should it occur. But meantime, its 12,000 members in this Province continue to give active and useful sendee in civilian hospitals, to lead in public health teaching and framing; and to give help to their neighbours in every of the 200 communities where there are Reserves. It is hoped soon to have an Emergency Reserve in every Red Cross Branch area in Ontario; such groups to carry on in public health program in the post ir period. During the months of July and August, district leaders will be available to visit Branches all through Ontario, and may be contacted through Mrs. A. C- McKenzie, Provinical Leader, 621 Jarvis Street, Toronto. New Condensed Ads. on Page 5. MANUFACTURERS MEET TO STUDY POST-WAR PROBLEMS President F. P. L. Lane Warns Canadian Manufacturers Can Be No Relaxation on Home Front; Manpower Shortage Toronto, June 12.--"This supreme year of the fighting men for which Canada has been preparing for four years. There must be no relaxation of effort on the home front," F. P. L. Lane, President of the Canadian Manufacturers' Association, stated at the 73rd annual general meeting of the association held in Toronto this week. "The United Nations desire an early victory, an effective peace treaty and a return to the normal activities of peace," Mr. Lane tinued. The 2,500 members of the association attending the meeting were representative of Canadian industry from coast to coast and were meeting to consider how they could best contribute to attaining the above objectives. Canadian industry has achieved a brilliant success in war production with employment doubled and the value of production more than doubled since 1939. In great part, accordv ing to Mr. Lane, this has been due to the efforts or management and engineers skilled in the handling of large numbers of people and quantities of raw materials. The relatively few men who can do this are assets to the country and without them there would have been no ships, no guns, no ammunition, no armeured vehicles and no airplanes, he stated. The question is frequently asked: 'Why cannot Canada continue to spend in peace as she is spending in war?" In answer, Mr. Lane said: "At present, Canada is taxing her citizens at rates never before approached or imagined but less than half her annual expenditures is being paid out BRITISH CHEESE RATION Early in April of this year the ordinary cheese ration in Britain was reduced to 2 ounces per person per week. Formerly it was 3 ounces. The cheese allowance for special classes engaged in hard manual work remains at 12 ounces per week, and the weekly ration for seamen at 4 ounces a week has not been changed. It is cheap protection against fire to paint up all property which is weathered, cracked or rotted or otherwise in a condition making it relatively easy to ignite. of taxes. The balance is being borrowed. A farmer can increase the mortgage on his farm to obtain money 'but how long can„he continue this ;policy? After the war eremgency is .past, will it not be necessary for Canada to plan national expenditures in relation to national income--that is, the earnings of the people?" While shortage of manpower continues to be the chief concern of industry and employers are concerned with employer-employee relations 'that will keep production at a maximum, many of the conferences held during the C. M. A. annual meeting dealt with post-war conditions. With reference to war-time controls, Mr. Lane said : "Manufacturers are as convinced ever of the wisdom of the government's policy of preventing disastrous inflation by maintaining celings on prices and wages and salaries. They realize that these two ceilings stand or fall together and that they*can only be maintained by the co-operation of government, employers and employees, producers and consumers.....This question assumes increasing importance as we get nearer the end of the war for the reason that inflationary prices in the post-war period would have a very disturbing effect on the whole population as they would tend greatly to restrict employment at a time when it is essential that employment should be kept at a maximum." Mm etm YOUR aim/ Yes sir, I wear it on my arm and I'm proud of it. For, G.S. means General Service -- on any fighting front anywhere in the world. It means that I want to go overseas. Canada needs a lot of men like you and me. I know it's going to be tough, but the job has got to be done. So, sign up as a volunteer for overseas service. Remember it takes months of thorough training to make you fighting fit. Come on fellows -- let's go! 1 WEAR.
